How the 5th UIC FRMCS Conference website handles personal data, and the rights you have over it.
This website is the public website of the 5th UIC FRMCS Conference, published by UIC — International Union of Railways. Our website address is: https://uicfrmcs.org/UICFRMCS2026.
Questions about personal data, and requests to exercise your rights, go to the Data Protection Officer: dpo@uic.org.
Personal information obtained through the contact form on the uicfrmcs.org website is used only to answer your message and, where you asked for it, to keep you informed about the congress. It is not used for any other purpose, and it is never sold or rented.
Contact-form messages are delivered by email to the congress organisers. This website stores no database of submissions and requires no account: there is nothing to register for, and no comments to leave.
You have the right to access, modify, rectify or delete your personal data by sending a message to the Data Protection Officer: dpo@uic.org.
If you sign in and enable congress alerts, we store a Web Push subscription (a device endpoint and cryptographic keys) bound to your congress contact. Bookmarks you add to My agenda are stored with that contact so we can remind you five minutes before a saved session and when it starts. That is not a cookie, and the browser permission prompt is not a cookie banner. We send visible notifications only for the topics you choose: live polls and Q&A, session reminders, and optionally network messages.
You can change topics or turn alerts off from Live settings, or by signing out (we then drop the subscription). Delivery uses the push service of your browser. The operating system may play its own default alert sound; this website does not set a custom sound.
Strictly necessary storage is always active. Audience measurement through Matomo is also enabled by default; you can switch it off at any time through the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of every page.
Audience measurement on this website is performed using Matomo, self-hosted by UIC on its own infrastructure. No data is transferred to Google Analytics or any other third-party analytics provider. Measurement is active from your first visit unless you refuse Analytics in the cookie banner or in Cookie settings.
The cookie policy lists every cookie and every piece of local storage this website uses, what it is for and how long it lasts. Browser notification permission for congress alerts is not a cookie.
We use the following service providers, each acting on our instructions and only for the purpose stated:
Pages on this site may include embedded content (for example videos, images or maps). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with it if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Contact-form messages are kept by the congress organisers for as long as needed to handle your request and to document the congress activities.
Your cookie choice is kept in your browser for 13 months, after which the banner asks again.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation you may ask us to:
Write to dpo@uic.org to exercise any of these rights. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you may lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority.
uicfrmcs.org reserves the right to suspend, interrupt or modify the access times of the website without prior warning.
The acquisition of the necessary hardware to connect to the Internet and any costs arising from visiting the website are the sole liability of the Internet user.
The uicfrmcs.org website was created and edited in accordance with current French law, and Internet users resident in countries other than France visiting uicfrmcs.org must ensure they are in compliance with the relevant local rules applicable.
